  A quick getaway heading to the southern part of the country and my destination is in Malabrigo, Lobo Batangas. A plan was made not only to ease the heat of summer and work-related stress but to set up a photoshoot as well with my friend.   The last time I visited Malabrigo was way back in 2018 with my friend, after that a pandemic hit the country and everything stopped for a while- A God-given rest for everything. Fast forward to 2024, and it was indeed a truly great experience, short and sweet.   The beauty of Malabrigo Beach is crafted in the hand of God, it may not be as beautiful as Boracay and Coron or any beaches in the country, but it’s an accommodating place to relax and temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of city life that causes stress.

We dropped by Park n’ Fly to leave the car before going to the airport, A van arrived shortly, and we drove off to the airport. I am wondering what the weather will be like in Boracay, hoping for a sunny day where I can capture the beauty of the island through the lens of my camera. It has been years since I visited the i

  KafĂ©naman   Coffee and Friendship, Brewing to Perfection. We all do love coffee from Brewed to Americano to iced coffee, Ice caramel macchiato, and the whole nine yards about coffee with or without sugar and creamer. Coffee lovers have their reason why coffee and what coffee is all about, it is how they cope with long days at work, for some, it is as simple as relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Traditionally, coffee serves the purpose of enjoying the day and life itself, coffee means love and the definition of love itself. Coffee shops exist on every corner of the street, from simple coffee vending machines at 7-11 stores across the country and everyone loves it including myself, and nothing beats the smell of rich aroma freshly brewed by the barista. Every reason why an individual loves coffee goes back to the time coffee was introduced to humanity, back in the day coffee was not as popular as today’s time.
